In the summer of his junior year, he participated in Transy\u2019s collaborative research program with Indiana University.

We have incredible classroom experiences\u2014and I have loved every class that I\u2019ve taken here.\u201d But, he finds, it\u2019s the time with professors outside the classroom, the eagerness to discuss subjects unrelated to class content and the desire to encourage curiosity that are defining experiences. These are, he explains, \u201cthe experiences that enabled me to make the Transylvania education that I was given uniquely mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending Duke is a natural next step for Brewer, who says he was drawn to the school\u2019s ethos of scientific collaboration and interdisciplinary perspective. \u201cThe competition in science is a wild, wild phenomenon,\u201d Brewer concludes, \u201cbut I think the collaborative atmosphere is something that Transy taught me the value of, and is something I can take forward with me into my graduate career.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jard Brewer \u201916 A fellowship to Duke University&#8217;s molecular genetics and microbiology program showed Jared Brewer just how prepared he was to compete at top-level graduate schools.
